What news filter do you use, M. Ted? Can you cite any real examples of that? Do you ever watch CSPAN? What I have seen of him was definitely not scripted and it is an insult to insinuate that he is somehow "handled" like that smarmy little bastard that's in there now.

BeeDubyaEll, well said.

Obama's voice is the only one in this whole melee of politicians and the media that is positive and gives people hope. His words of positivity are more powerful than most people realise, but they are feeling it in their hearts and they are crossing lines they've never crossed before to support him. While the rest malpractice against our mass consiousness with dire predictions, worst-case scenarios, and much hand-wringing, Obama stands out and will prevail if enough people will self-discipline themselves enough to say NO! to the negative rhetoric, etc. and really believe and work to help our country become healthy, again.
